The lighting bolt isn't appearing but it is charging

I updated my Iphone 11 to IOS 16.5, suddenly when I charged it, the lighting bolt does not appear. It does make the ding sound that signifies it's charging, but the lighting bolt is nowhere to be seen. My phone's battery does increase but the lighting bolt rly is not showing up. I am losing it. Can someone help me??

Try a "forced" restart of your device using these instructions: Put it on charge for at least half an hour, then, keeping it plugged in, use these gestures:

Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side (power) button. Only when the Apple logo appears (it might take 10-20 seconds), release that button (ignore all other screens that might appear, the one with the "slider" to turn the device off included).


If the issue persists, contact Apple Support directly, using this link:--> Contact Apple for support and service
